For all that have sent me info directly or via the list, I offer my sincere thanks. If any of you wind up in the DFW area( or already reside here ) I'll buy you your choice of beverages. For a quick update, I haven't yet replaced the GC -- I am going to try to rebuild it per info off of the DMCNEWS tech page. Even if this doesn't fix the immediate problem it still seems worth doing as opposed to spending a $400 dollars everytime the unit fails. Hopefully, like Mark Hershey (who wrote the article), I'll be able to run several years without problems once it is rebuilt using some better components. Once I get the Trans fixed I will be going thru and doing some other mods. One thing I would like to do is replace the radio with a current AM/FM/CD player, but I don't want to cut the center piece to do it. So if anyone has a plate already cut, or if you know where I can get another one I would appreciate it. ( Stereo in the car is neither the ASI or Craig unit it was apparently replaced at sometime in the past with a Jensen AM/FM/Cassette with clock.) Matthew L. Walker VIN #1219
